Barstow Modern

The charm of the historic Folk Victorian structure is undeniable. It possesses a quiet beauty and structural dignity that reflects the intentionality of an earlier era. Yet, building with early-twentieth-century methods and dimensional lumber is no longer practical. To attempt a literal reproduction is to choose fragility over performance.

Simple Italianate

Simple Italianate houses fascinate me. The City of Cincinnati describes Italianates (1860 - 1890) as two or three stories high, rectangular in plan, with low-pitched roofs. They are brick with metal, stone, or wood ornamentation. A distinctive feature is a cornice. Their design is thin with tall windows, similar to 19th-century commercial buildings.
